Hi folks. Good to see the forum thriving. And despite G.Brown (fuel tax) and green anti 4*4 lobbyists we have not been driven off the road or burnt at the stake...
My RR ( a 2000 p38 vogue 4.6 auto) seems to have decided only to change up to fourth until at least 50mph.
I did do a search but could not find anything ( tho' maybe my search terms were wrong so apologies if this has been discussed previously)
- This 'problem' is even on a light load and not accelerating hard. I recall that it would run happily at down to 30mph in top and would change up much earlier than 50mph. No longer so. Mechanically all sounds fine, though the box does seem a bit 'hesitant' when it does choose to enter top gear. This change of habit seems persistent. Fuel economy has been trashed so I know somethings afoot here but am I going mad?
Any thoughts / advice / cures?
What does you RR do for change up down points?
Could it be a gearbox or management software fault?
Many thanks in advance...
Brian
